It's no secret that I adore neons. I wear them whatever the season- like now, heading into winter! But I was playing with another untrieds combo and this one's unusual but I love it!

I used Color Club Twiggie and Sea Siren Sailaway Heather as my bases (btw Twiggie is a MUST have for green lovers!) and my untrieds were the two glitters- Love Thy Polish Spot The Pink and Femme Fatale Abuse the Ooze. I will have more in depth swatches and details about both soon!

This was eye-meltingly bright in person, I loved it. My anti-neon partner, however, he hated it.

I used the dotting tool here, and as you can see, it is quite a tiny dot! Perfect for smaller polka dots. Polishes used were Illamasqua Stance and Sally Hansen Blue Me Away!

I saved my favourite for last. For this one, I used the larger pointed brush for the floral detail, and the smaller flat brush to do the french tip. Polishes used were OPI So Many Clowns, So Little Time, Butter London Pillar Box Red, Ulta3 Lily White and Revlon Rainforest.

If you've been playing along, you'll have noticed I missed a brush. The larger fat brush. And it was actually used in every one of these manis, as the clean up brush, because it is PERFECT for that!

I love this brush set, and will be using all the brushes in it. If you'd like to try them, or anything else from Born Prettys huge range of nail art stuff, use my code for 10% off!

Firstly, I apologise for the sporadic posting, I've been flat out with work and being sick. I'm all better now, so I promise to post more! Today, I'm showing you these gorgeous 3D metal roses from Born Pretty Store.

They come in a wheel of 12 colours, and there are 2 roses per colour. I've used 3 of the different colours in 3 different manicures to show how versatile they can be!

If you would like any names of any of the polishes I used, feel free to ask!

The roses are made out of aluminum, so they're pretty sturdy! They're also quite large, and they do stick out a little bit, so be careful! What I like about them is that they're reusable, just take it off, give it a quick clean if needed and you can reuse it! I stuck them on with a regular top coat for these photos and they stuck quite well. The bottom of the roses is flat, so it sits nicely on the nail. The only issue I have with them is that I fond on the purple and red ones, that the colour did 'run' a little bit when the top coat touched it. Upon removal, there was a tiny bit of red/purple on the nail, but nothing major.

I really like these roses, they're cute, yet kinda edgy at the same time, depending on how you use them! If you'd like to try them, or anything else from Born Prettys huge range of nail art stuff, use my code for 10% off!

Until Next Time,
